    N-400 denied after USCIS discovered withdrawal of I-129F years later

    in US Citizenship General Discussion

    Posted

    Hey guys! A quick update. The citizenship was denied, even after appeal.

     

    Basically, I was never going to become a US citizen. To my understanding I have 2 options: 1) to somehow cancel the Green Card and apply from scratch for a new one; 2) just to remain Green Cars holder and do nothing.

     

    I was offered a job and returned back to my home country. Me and my wife are no longer together💔. 

     

    To someone who has similar situation, plz do not go through the process after I-129F withdrawal. You need to do everything all over again and not to rely that later on it will make a sense somehow. 

     

    God bless you all! 🙏❤

    USCIS suggests to send N-400 to their office which is specialized in 319b - Washington District Office in Fairfax, VA.

     

    As far as ROC -- look up where to send I-751 for Virginia state: https://www.uscis.gov/i-751   

     

    For U.S. Postal Service (USPS):

    USCIS
    P.O. BOX 660480
    Dallas, TX 75266

    For FedEx, UPS, and DHL deliveries:

    USCIS
    Attn: I-751
    2501 S State Hwy 121 Business
    Suite 400
    Lewisville, TX 75067

    Previously, the old USCIS web-site (when you go to uscis.gov and click on "Check Case Status") did not recognize my case number for I-751 (many people here reported the same).

     

    However, today, on Sunday, on the 2nd day after biometrics appointment, the case status says:

    Fingerprint Review Was Completed

    As of February 10, 2019, we completed our review of your fingerprints and are working on your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, Receipt Number EAC199xxxxxxx, at our Vermont Service Center location. We will let you know if we make a decision or need anything from you. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

    Definitely don’t go out of the country without I-551 stamp. A family friend went without it and showed the NOA for this petition and they wouldn’t let her on her connecting flight back to the US. They said the NOA paper was not enough proof. She had to go back to the country she started from and go to the embassy to get I-551 stamp. After she got it, they allowed her to transit back to the US. 

    That's crazy! 😱

    GOT I-751 RFE AND MY MARRIAGE IS ON VERGE OF DIVORCE

    I agree with @NYC waiting game about lawyers. They only wants your $$$. Once you paid - they don't do anything and demand more and more $$$ from you. 

     

    Do a research, know your options and do everything by yourself. There are lots of resources here on this forum. In addition, there are libraries and there are volunteer lawyers (but be careful with them too! they cannot be held responsible for their words!).

     

    Do not trust any lawyer. Check and double-check everything by yourself!

    Lawyers did me wrong - they took my money and ran, that's why I hate them so much.

     

     

    GOT I-751 RFE AND MY MARRIAGE IS ON VERGE OF DIVORCE

    Hello, @Talk2me!

    first of all you have to try to reconnect with your husband and see if he's willing to help to respond to RFE. I understand he disappeared, but it is important to try one more time, maybe his family member will give you his phone #. Explain to him that it is very important for you and that you need his help.

     

    If there is no way to contact him and you are sure that your marriage is over, then you can either divorce your husband or get an annulment of the marriage (whichever option better suits your situation). Note, that both of these options take time. 

     

    As other members pointed out here, you can request divorce waiver for I-751. But it is important to answer RFE. Otherwise, USCIS can (based on the new policy) deny your I-751 for not answering RFE and start deportation.

    Kiolas, did you receive a duplicate or an original?  My e-mail request response said as a courtesy, they will send a duplicate.  Problem is that we need an original for international travel.

    I received an original.

     

    I received a different response than you. They said:

    "Please allow 30 days from the date of this correspondence for the notice to be sent. If your two-year Green Card has expired and you need evidence of your permanent resident status before the receipt notice arrives, you may schedule an appointment online or by calling the USCIS Contact Center at 1-800-375-5283".

     

    I hope you will receive an original!🙏

    I spoke to a level 1 and she told me she couldn't find the Request I submitted 30 days ago.

     

    She said I should schedule an Infopass appointment, which I did for February 12.

     

    Thanks.

     

    What can I expect at an Infopass app?

    Did you try to submit online e-Request? Just go to: https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/Intro.do

    and choose option "Did not receive notice by mail". 

     

    I did exactly that and received NOA. Hope it helps!

    Did you submit your e-request online yourself or by calling USCIS?  I have been trying to do an e-request online but it doesn't let me submit it since it's less than 30 days since they sent the text message.

    Yes, I submitted e-Request online by myself within 30 days from the date USCIS received my package (not from the date of text message with case number!). I did not call USCIS.

    Hi @SandyKay!

    I'd like to correct my previous post. So you have to only wait 30 days from the time USCIS received your package (not from the time they sent you text!). Go to:

    https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/Intro.do

    and select "Did not receive notice by mail".

     

    Therefore, you can file e-Request now!

    I have submitted e-Request and 12 days later received e-mail that they would send NOA via mail within 30 days of their e-mail.

     

    I hope this helps!

    @Ben & Melanie If you feel USCIS made an error, then appeal or file a motion (whichever is applicable to your case). In addition, you may contact Ombudsman https://www.dhs.gov/case-assistance

     

    I had a similar situation, my appeal is still pending. Make sure to explain everything in details in a clear way and attach proof. 

     

    Depending on circumstances, it may be a good idea to consult with an attorney, but it is extremely expensive. They usually charge $250/hour and up.
